Modular covariance and uniqueness of J T ¯ $$ J\overline{T} $$ deformed CFTs

Abstract We study families of two dimensional quantum field theories, labeled by a dimensionful parameter μ, that contain a holomorphic conserved U(1) current J(z). We assume that these theories can be consistently defined on a torus, so their partition sum, with a chemical potential for the charge...
